so i'm here safe and sound. the trip was relatively painless, excluding missing my flight in london and getting lost in the Heathrow airport. luckily there was another flight to dublin right behind it that got me here with no problem at all.

i arrived in dublin, caught a bus to city centre, and met morten (if you don't know, he's the danish boy i'm staying with here) at the bus stop. seems easy, doesn't it?

well, the things i've learned so far are:

1. british "cents" are called "pence"

2. you can only bring one piece of carry-on onto a plane. but if you wear the big shoes in your bag, then stuff your purse into your carry-on bag, it's considered one piece

3. Heathrow airport is bigger than vancouver

4. there are lots of redheads in Ireland

and now that i've been up for about 40 hours, it's time for me to sleep. until tomorrow!
